Chapter 107
After wandering around for three or four hours, the girls were a little tired, so Astoria proposed to go back to the tent to rest.
Just then, a large group of teenagers, never seen before, passed by and attracted everyone's attention.Astoria asked curiously: "Who are they?"
All of them came from pure-blood families, so they had all heard the names of the top 11 magic schools in the world.However, this does not mean that each of them can tell the origin of foreign students from the outside.
"They come from Beauxbatons," Schelling said in a low voice. "It's one of the top 11 schools in the world, not far from us in France. They have Beauxbatons' school badge on their robes. I saw it in the "European Evaluation of Magical Education"—two golden crossed wands, and three stars popped out of each wand."
"Is Beauxbaton very powerful?" Astoria asked.
"Well, quite powerful..." Schelling remembered an interesting thing. "You should have heard from your parents. A few centuries ago, there was a competition called the 'Triwizard Tournament'. It was held by three magic schools in turn. It was held every five years. In history, Hogwarts won the championship 63 times, while Beauxbatons won 62 times. From this, we can get a glimpse of their strength."
Looking at the reactions of the girls, it was obvious that they didn't know the news that the Triwizard Tournament was about to be restarted.
Schelling was a little surprised, but then felt relieved. The Greengrass family did not have much desire for power, and it was understandable that their family was not too keen on setting up an intelligence network in the Ministry of Magic.
This is not like the Malfoy family, as early as the beginning of the summer vacation, Lucius had already mentioned the Triwizard Tournament to himself and Draco.
However, since Lucius didn't know the details, Draco didn't know that this year's Quidditch would be cancelled. He thought it was just a one-day match like "Merlin's Test".
"Another magic school is Durmstrang, which is located on a secret island in Northern Europe. They only admit pure-blood students, and they have a more conniving attitude towards black magic..."
"I know this school," Daphne said, "It is said that Grindelwald is a student of that school."
"Yes," Schelling nodded, "but even Durmstrang couldn't stand Grindelwald's dark arts experiments in the end, so he was fired."
"There is another school in North America called Ilvermorny. It is located in Mount Greylock in the western United States. It has a deep connection with Hogwarts and was founded by one of the descendants of Slytherin. Their magic is integrated with local witchcraft, and they are very good at herbalism and potions. They have performed extremely well in the 'Wizard Interschool Potions Tournament' in which magic schools all over the world participate."
"There is also a magic school in Brazil, South America, called Castrobusher. It used to have an exchange program with Hogwarts!"
"Uganda in Africa has the largest number of magic schools in the world. They are good at casting spells without wands and transfiguration. You can see them in every Animagus International Symposium."
"The remaining one is in Japan, one is in Russia, and one is in..." (Author: There are three remaining, waiting for Rowling to update, the author is too lazy to make up by himself)
This group of teenagers obviously came to England with a school tour group to watch this year's Quidditch World Cup.
Seeing the students from foreign magic schools, Xie Lin had an idea. Could it be that there is also a group from the Mahotokuro Magic Institute in Japan?
Thinking of this, Xie Lin asked the three girls to go back first, and he wanted to try his luck in the Asian camp to see if he could meet his pen pal.So Schelling separated from them temporarily.
When I came to the Asian camp, there were not many tents inside, and the distance between tents was relatively loose and not so dense.This is because the sport of Quidditch is not popular in Asia, and wizards in Asia prefer to use flying magic carpets to fly instead of flying broomsticks.
He first meets an unexpected person—Zhang He, the master of transformation.
In the past semester, Zhang He and he had communicated a lot about transfiguration. Xie Lin received his guidance and had a deeper understanding of transfiguration, so he was very grateful to him.Schelling had seen a picture of him in Transfiguration Today, so he recognized him immediately.
Xie Lin knew that in Eastern culture, seniority etiquette is very important, so he didn't dare to be rude at all, so he stepped forward to salute.
"Mr. Zhang, hello, I am the Malfoy who often correspond with you, thank you very much for your repeated instructions."
Zhang He was a little surprised, but quickly recognized Xie Lin, "Oh, it's you! Good boy, you don't have to be so polite. You can just call me Grandpa Zhang." Zhang He twirled his long beard, "Sure enough, I'm really envious of that old fellow Dumbledore, who has such an excellent disciple like you."
"Grandpa Zhang, you're flattered." Xie Lin said modestly, "Xie Lin is just a little bit lucky, and has been taught by many powerful people, such as you, Grandpa Zhang."
"Hehe, I really know how to talk," Zhang He said with a smile.
"Grandpa Zhang, do you also like Quidditch? You came here from such a long distance." Xie Lin asked. He always thought that Quidditch was not very popular in Asia.
"I feel good about Quidditch, and it's just a coincidence for me to come here," Zhang He said, "I'm mainly here to visit relatives."
"Visiting relatives?" Xie Lin was a little surprised, "Grandpa Zhang, do you have any relatives in England?"
"Hehe, speaking of my relatives, you probably know them too!" Zhang He fell into deep thought, and then slowly said: "My brother and I had a disagreement because of some things in the family. He ran away from home in a fit of anger, and he never came back after he left." Zhang He's voice trembled slightly.
"It wasn't until a long, long time later, after he passed away, that I found out that he had emigrated to England—he refused to let me know even before he died. It can be seen, how much he hates me and resents me... ..." Although Zhang He's eyes were expressionless, deep in his eyes he still couldn't hide his grief.
"Grandpa Zhang..."
"I'm letting you see a joke, Xie Lin," Zhang He sighed, "I want to say, if time could start over again, I would definitely change my original decision. There is nothing like true family affection."
Schelling didn't know why, his heart seemed to be hit hard by a big hammer, and it twitched tightly, Draco's face flashed inadvertently in his mind.
"No, Draco and I have different ideas, but it's for the sake of the family. Impossible... Impossible..." Schelling forced himself to comfort himself, expelling these annoying thoughts from his mind.
"My younger brother married a girl in England and settled down. He also had a child of his own, which is my nephew. Later, my nephew also got married and has a daughter. Maybe you know her! Her name is Zhang Qiu, and she also goes to Hogwarts, only one grade older than you."
ah!It's Zhang Qiu!
Xie Lin and Zhang Qiu couldn't be said to be very familiar with each other, but they knew each other anyway. Zhang Qiu and her friends had attended the Patronus Charm exchange meeting held by him.Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiu's background is so big!
Zhang He's status in the field of transfiguration in Asia is equivalent to Professor McGonagall's status in Europe, and he is the top expert in the field of transfiguration.Both of them are named Honorary Advisors at the International Animagus Symposium.
At this time, Zhang Qiu came out of the tent. When she saw Xie Lin, her eyes lit up. She smiled sweetly and walked over, "Hey, Xie Lin, why are you here?"
"I was idle and wandering around, but I never expected to meet Mr. Zhang here." Xie Lin replied honestly.
"Ah! You know my uncle?" Zhang Qiu was very surprised.It is true that Schelling's name spread throughout Great Britain, even in nearby European countries must have heard of it, but it would be too exaggerated to say that it spread to the far east.
"Hehe, Xie Lin and I are pen pals, and we often exchange transfiguration techniques in letters." Zhang He looked at Zhang Qiu lovingly and said.Zhang He himself has no children, so he treats Zhang Qiu as his own, which also contains some guilt towards his younger brother.
"Xie Lin, are you alone?!" After hesitating for a while, Qiu said with a flushed face, "Would you like to come and sit in our tent for a while? I want to ask you how to use the Patronus Charm. Is there any trick in it? No matter how hard I try, I can only release light and mist."
Zhang Qiu was indeed very beautiful, no wonder Harry's unresponsive guy would be tempted.However, Xie Lin already has many girls around him, and he has no intention of complicating his emotional world.
He agreed to Qiu's invitation, but that was only because he wanted to repay Zhang He's kindness for his guidance.
Xie Lin didn't stay in the tent for too long, he re-explained the experience of the Patronus Charm, and then released a happy spell on Qiu.
"This... is the happiness curse?" Qiu felt her heart was sweet, and happy memories emerged in her mind, without even noticing the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously.
"Yes, this is my improved Happy Charm, which can help you learn the Patronus Charm, and even increase the power of the Patronus Charm. How do you feel now?" Schelling asked with concern.
"I feel...the whole person is so relaxed, as if all the troubles are gone, and then...so happy, as if I am the luckiest girl in the world..." Qiu closed her eyes, intoxicated by the emotion at the moment, and said in a low voice.
"Okay, now freeze the picture in your mind at your happiest moment, and then say out loud "Call God to protect you."
"Call God to guard!" Qiu's magic wand burst into a strong light, and unexpectedly released a swan patron saint!
"Amazing!" Zhang He's eyes sparkled brightly, "He actually created a new happiness spell, which can allow people to master the Patronus spell in such a short time. Xie Lin, you really surprised me!"
Although Zhang He is not the master of Charms, he still has an appreciation for it.
This son is still so young, like a baby dragon dormant, given time, there will be a day when the dragon will emerge from the abyss and soar into the universe!
He looked at Qiu, and Qiu's talent is pretty good, but it's a pity that her beautiful appearance attracted too many temptations for her, making her unable to concentrate on magic, which is a pity.The Zhang family's secret transfiguration technique might be lost, unless...he suddenly thought of a good idea.
"Xie Lin, in a few days, I will go back to China. You are very close to Qiu. I hope you can help me take care of her when I am at Hogwarts, and give her some advice on weekdays." Zhang He suppressed a smile in his heart and said with a serious face: "Don't worry, I won't waste too much time for you. In return, my Zhang family still has some secret transfiguration techniques that I can give you as a gift."
Xie Lin agreed half out of gratitude and half out of greed for the Zhang family's transformation technique.
